Kick has removed casino streamers from hourly wages. But, no one got worse off
At first glance, the news seems to be "strict": Kick no longer pays $16 per hour to streamers who broadcast in the "Slots and Casinos" category. They say they are trying to tighten the policy, establish order, distance themselves from gambling content. But if you dig deeper, it becomes clear: this is all a game for the public. And a cheap one at that.
That $16 an hour? Streamers don't care
For ordinary beginners, this amount may seem significant. But in the world of casino streaming, it's a penny. Take any top: Roshtein, Trainwreckstv, Xposed – they earn tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars, if not millions, simply from affiliates, endorsement deals and "personal salary" from Stake, which is a co-owner of Kick.
That is, in fact, Kick simply cut off a tiny expense item that does not affect the top players in any way, but looks spectacular in the headlines and may appeal to regulators or "society with increased morality".
Stake rules from behind the scenes
The whole Slots & Casino purge looks more like a PR stunt than a real rule change. Stake Casino is directly linked to the Kick platform and funds many key streamers, not $16 per hour, but direct six-figure payouts, plus generous affiliate programs, plus fake deposits to "show off the game".
So when someone says that "Kick restricts support for gambling content," it's just dust in the eyes. In public, it's one thing, behind the scenes it's quite another.

Bottom line: no one lost
They removed $16 per hour for casino streamers — so what? The tops will continue to earn millions. Kick does not lose anything - on the contrary, it makes a beautiful gesture of "responsible attitude to the category". And the real picture is still the same: gambling content is alive and thriving, but now it officially "does not receive an hourly salary".
A large-scale rebranding for the sake of ticking. Minimal savings. And a lot of money is still flowing through closed channels into the hands of those who spin the reels on the screen.
tickscollar All this bullshit was invented to squeeze out the last money. It used to be easier - bet on red, win or lose. And now some chickens are running, airplanes are flying... Circus.
xSuiZ The article is fire! Everything was laid out according to the facts. Drake is not a ludomaniac, he is a walking advertisement. And while the suckers believe in his "curse", Stake rakes in the money. Beautiful, you can't say anything. I've been riding a steak myself for a year now, I threw in crypto and generally don't give a about all the blocking.
Leoak Finally a good article on NC! I've been playing them since the very beginning, since the first Deadwood. Yes, their dispersion is crazy, you can lose a deposit in 100 spins. But when he pours ... It's worth it. In Mental x15k I caught, I still remember this spin. The whole point is in their x-mechanics, they really change the game, and not just for show.
tealblossom 2 minutes to respond? Yes, this is a dream! Otherwise, while you wait for these operators, you will already want to play. It's high time!

Fuck, dudes... Kik and steak are one charaga. Everything is shared there. Both Roshik and Train. They kind of "lose" millions, but live in luxury huts. Don't you see that this is a scam? I myself have been in the casino for 5 years, such winnings are statistically impossible!
And it seems to me that this is the right step. At least some restriction. Better than nothing.
WHAT? DO THEY PAY MORE FOR STREAMS THAN I DO AT WORK?
Why is everyone stirring up drama. Capitalism, baby. If you don't like it, don't watch it
